Therefore pride enchains them; violence covers them like a robe.
Make a chain; for the land is full of bloody judgments, and the city is full of violence. And I will bring the most evil of the nations, and they shall possess their houses. I will also make the pomp of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be defiled. Ruin comes; and they shall seek peace, but none shall be. read more.
Disaster on disaster shall come, and rumor to rumor shall be. And they shall seek a vision from the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and wisdom from the elders. The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with despair, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled. I will do to them according to their way, and according to their judgments I will judge them; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.

I the man have seen affliction by the rod of His wrath. He has led me and made me go in darkness and not into light. Surely He turned against me; He turns His hand all the day. read more.
He has wasted my flesh and my skin; He has broken my bones. He built against me and has circled me with bitterness and hardship. He has made me live in dark places, like the dead of old. He has set a fence around me and I cannot go out; He has made my bronze chain heavy. Also when I cry and shout, He shuts out my prayer. He walled up my ways with cut stone; my paths are crooked. He was a bear lying in wait for me, a lion in secret places. He has turned my ways aside and torn me in pieces. He made me desolate. He has bent His bow and set me as a mark for the arrow. He has caused the arrows of His quiver to enter into my inward parts. I was a mockery to all my people, their song all the day. He has filled me with bitterness and made me drunk with wormwood. He also broke my teeth with gravel; He has covered me in the ashes. And You cast off my soul from peace; I have forgotten blessedness. And I said, My strength and my hope from Jehovah are gone. Remember my affliction and my wandering, as wormwood and bitterness. My soul vividly remembers and bows down on me.

And the people of Nineveh believed God. And they called a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them. For word came to the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne. And he laid his robe from him, and covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
